I am so lucky to know so many ridiculously interesting person.
Ryan is maybe the sweetest human being on earth? He always been SO unbelievably nice and ridiculously hospitable. [Yes, he’s Canadian.]
He introduced me to “Come From Away” [an incredible Broadway show]. He let me stay with him when I ran a race in Toronto. He is dope, and here are some of my takeaways with him!
- He’s been on 13(!!!) game shows (between France, US, Canada, and Great Britain). Wheel of Fortune holds a special place in his heart because it was both his first and most profitable.
- Some of his hobbies are scuba diving [he’s up to almost 1,000 dives!], cup stacking [yes, he’s combined these and done this underwater], running [he’s even done a Spartan race], and more.
- I got to learn a bit more about the whole ‘world of cup stacking.’ He says doubles stacking is like a 3-legged race. Also, cup-stacking is “surprisingly athletic.” He told me about someone who got a D1 scholarship, they believe, in large part with the help of the small hand moments/coordination they got from cup stacking!
And on the all-important question I’ve been asking everyone, which is what is the point of life? Ryan said it’s to experience everything you can – and to make people happy, even in the small gestures like getting coffee for co-workers every Friday. “It is so little to do a good deed.”
